ok so ive been recording on and off for a couple of years just for writing purposes mainly and i really want to expand my knowledge of recording and start getting what i hear in my head on "tape". i have been learning alot from the net and books especially this site and i figure its time to see what i can learn from talking directly to some of the pros on here.

here is a link to just a guitar/drum jam, really short, but it will give you an idea of where i'm at. Any one notice any obvious mistakes? looking forward to your responses.

my gear is a presonus fp10 into a macbook pro, running logic. just picked up superior drummer 2.0(not in this clip though)

rough mix
 
That SD mix isn't the best sounding, but if it's all you got, it's all you got. The drum mix sounds off, like it wasn't quantized, could just be me. The guitars sound a tiny bit under-gained to me, but I'm not using my headphones at the moment. I'll take a listen when I get home.
